Terra's Magnetic Field

When Bai throws this ball, everything in front of him will cease to exist, but he would rather die in reality than live a false life, so let him end all these false things with his own hands!

Luna let go, the snowball fell from her palm, and she smiled at Jeston and said:

"Then...goodbye."

"Thank you, Luna..."

Jason threw a snowball to smash his sister's illusion, and the scenery around him shattered like glass. He also changed from a child with family affection to a lonely adult.

The light bullet shot by the gunman cut through the air and knocked Fran away. Although the light bullet generated by her power could not kill her directly, it was enough to make her [pain]!

"Quack!————————" Fran disappeared at the edge of the horizon. Wuming didn't care about it. Anyway, she would definitely catch up with her in a while.

Starting from the beginning, the alienated parts of Gunman's body turned into dust and disintegrated. Eventually, the monster disappeared, and was replaced by a human who regained his heart, the shirtless Jeston.

As if he had had a long dream or sleepwalking for a long time, Jeston fell into coma again after regaining consciousness and fell to the ground exhausted.

His expression was relaxed, with a hint of smile on his lips. Perhaps this time he was finally able to have a sweet dream without being entangled by nightmares.

"It was a good dream..." Bella looked at Jeston's sleeping face. The expression on this face was completely different from the last time. "Just sleep. In that sweet dream, no one will take anything away from you this time..."

"Because you have nothing left..."

Ending song: "Blessing" - YOASOBI

Lyrics excerpt:

I have already broken free from the shackles of this curse. In the past, I only lived in a predetermined illusion. Now, fly out of this illusion and fly into reality!

He leaped up and danced in the air at a speed that no one could catch up with!

This once cursed future is up to you to change with your own hands. On this road to defy fate, there must be many opportunities in your hands, right? It can make you stronger!

No matter I was born on this planet or live in this world now, I just want to love it all...

Now I give all this blessing to you.

(This song has a good rhythm and the lyrics are very suitable for the current plot)

(Speaking of which, Jeston’s father is also a crazy researcher. The principle of Rosemary’s floating gun is basically a mini wind spirit…

Rosemary: Amenaceae

Use a floating gun to smash people into ketchup

Jeston: You just killed someone...)

That’s all for today.

Sailor suit Fran (Little Rafi), her outfit is also quite classic. She wears this outfit almost every time in the flashback plot of the previous book. Of course, the most classic is the black and white outfit. Rafi can be said to be the most girlish character in this series. She is actually the oldest (

Rafi: Omniscient witch Kai, who is the most beautiful woman in the world?

Queen Mother: Of course it’s me!

Rafi: You are looking for death!

The Queen Mother: Don’t hit people when you read their faces.

Rafi: Let’s take another look!

Queen Mother: You are truly a beauty, so beautiful that you can make fish sink to the depths and geese fall to the ground... Compared to you, all other women in the world are nothing but a deity... Your appearance is like a deity descended from heaven... (grievance)

Rafi: Damn it! You have to make me violent before you tell the truth

Mini-theater: [Little Evil Tallulah]

The exchange between the two similar characters after returning to Rhodes Island...

Saria: How did you get in? (In the same cell, Saria was put in jail again for drunk driving)

Tallulah: You have no idea what horrible things I've done in the past.

Saria: Oh? (She takes out snacks from her bulky protective suit. Her suit is stuffed with all kinds of random things.)

Tallulah: I indirectly killed dozens of people when I was in the Reunion. Even though it was an accident, I still can't sleep well now. Bonebreaker, Patriot, Mephisto... they are all good people... Have you ever killed anyone?

Saria: Probably several billion (no change in expression)

Tallulah: What?!

Saria gestured: Rhine Life official data records that I indirectly killed billions of lives, probably they also counted the Trisolarans. That was an extraterrestrial civilization... At that time, I was addicted to surfing the Internet and used the power of the magnetic field to broadcast messages to the universe, hoping to make friends with aliens online, but the message was captured by the Trisolaran civilization. I sent a smiley face emoticon, and the other party told me not to reply, and sent it three times in a row. This was clearly teasing me! So I sent a few hundred words of swear words, and since then, the coordinates of Terra have been captured by the Trisolaran civilization. Later, my master knew about this, and he said he had to go on a business trip for a few days, and then there was no more...

Tallulah: Oh my god! Did he kill all the people in that civilization? This is the most horrible thing I have ever heard of...

(Terra is the living Buddha, the living King of Hell in the Universe, Blue Superman, Blue Superman~)

Saria: Actually it's normal, you just get used to it. Similar things have happened several times. One time, my master blew up a refugee ship of an extraterrestrial civilization with a beam of light, killing billions of lobster-like spacemen. He also told me that for a strong man, killing is like eating and drinking water. (Eating snacks)

Tallulah: It's hard to imagine what kind of life she lived before... (From then on, Tallulah had a strange shadow on Xiao Er. In her mind, Xiao Er was the armored big guy in Warhammer)

Tallulah: What else? ...

Saria: Hundreds of thousands? I can’t remember exactly…

Tallulah: WTF?

!

Saria: Accidents always happen around me. One time I was flying a Saria helicopter...

Tallulah: Stop! What the hell is a Saria helicopter?

Saria: It was a helicopter tailor-made for me. I asked Mel to modify a helicopter used to spread pesticides. She changed the head of the helicopter into my cartoon image, and the fuselage also has my and Rhine Life's logos. Have you ever seen Batman? It was very popular when I was a child, and I wanted a helicopter of my own at that time. Later, I told my master about it, and he told me not to even think about it.

Tallulah: So what did you do with that Saria helicopter?

Saria: I started the helicopter as usual that day, but the wings were broken without my knowledge, so my helicopter crashed in the busiest area of ​​the commercial district, and the propellers that couldn't stop rushed into the crowd. I think a lot of people must have died, after all, there were broken hands and feet and human body parts all over the street, and blood was all over the ankles... I never thought that a person would have so much blood... (Wanbao: Later, I repaired all the survivors)

Tallulah: Ugh! ———— (I can’t help but vomit)

Saria: Haha, I had the same reaction at the time, but then the Saria airship and Saria tank happened, and I got used to it.

Tallulah didn't even dare to think about it.

Saria: If you stay in this place long enough, you will find that this level is just the entry level. (Pull open the cell door and walk out as if nothing happened, and greet the guard)

Tallulah: Can you just go out like that?

(Going to jail depends entirely on self-awareness)

Chapter 398 Light and Shadow, Land and Sea

He wore clothes stolen from motorcyclists passing by the coast, and rode a motorcycle that was forcibly reassembled from broken parts...

Skadi finally dragged her weak body back to the place which could be called her resting place.

She abandoned the broken motorcycle and walked forward. The motorcycle, which was barely holding together, finally broke apart and collapsed, exploding into a fire behind it.

Skadi looked up at the magnificent man-made creation in front of her, this ancient mobile city, namely [Rhodes Island]...

This is the place that she loves and hates at the same time. It is her only foothold in this world. Only this crazy and outrageous place can accommodate her irrational existence.

She hated the customs, folkways and other messy factors of this place, and hated the strange atmosphere here. But without this place, this land would be in chaos, turning into a hell on earth that is much more terrible than it is now, and turning into a carnival of demons.

(With Rhodes Island gone, Saria alone can cause a lot of trouble)

The reason why all countries tacitly accepted Rhodes Island's autonomy was largely because they wanted Rhodes Island to accommodate the weirdos from all over the land. Those who would cause major damage, those who might cause controversy, those with special identities, those who were powerful but mentally unstable...

There are many former leaders of various countries who have retired in the top leadership of Rhodes Island, such as Wan, Mostima, Yela, etc. This place is simply a crude combination of the United Nations and an international prison.

"Humph! No matter which angle you look at it from, this place is still so gloomy. Should we say it is worthy of being called a devil's lair? It really emanates the stench of evil from the inside out, hehe... Although I am not qualified to criticize it."

After saying this, Skadi jumped up, her body shot upward like a cannonball, flying straight to a building 100 meters high, and finally stopped at the corner of the top floor of Rhodes Island, which was nearly a thousand meters away from the port.

Rhodes Island is not just a pharmaceutical factory, its total area is equivalent to a county in Yan Country.

Although there was only a basic landship as a base during the Tower of Babel period, after Wan took over, this place continued to grow by acquiring and plundering other places, and now it has become a veritable "city". (This version of Rhodes Island is actually bigger than Night City, otherwise where would Saria go to mess around?)

In a sense, Wan's contribution to this place in one year is more than Tresia's contribution in a hundred years. Although Wan is a hateful idiot, she is always very good to her loyal people. This may be one of the reasons why she has a good reputation in the eyes of ordinary people on earth.

But the closer you are to her, the easier it is for her to persecute you. And the negative comments about her often come from people you know, which is very contradictory. If she could put half of her friendliness towards strangers towards her family and friends around her, her interpersonal relationships wouldn't be so bad.

Skadi took a deep breath of the cool air of Rhode Island, which made her feel a little more relaxed. She was too tired now and just wanted to find a place to rest. She would crawl back to her dark and dirty sewer and lie on a sofa on a platform in the sewer to fall asleep.

But at this moment, she suddenly felt a familiar breath, which made her muscles tense and her heart rise.

This is clearly the feeling!

【he】!

That "justice" that made her sick!

The aura only lasted for a moment before disappearing. The timing was perfect. The opponent was clearly leaking his power on purpose to let Skadi notice and lure Skadi over. But even though she knew it might be a trick, Skadi would not let go of this opportunity. She had to find out the truth!

Skadi and [he] are like a big fish and an angler. The stubborn big fish thinks it can definitely break free from the hook; while the angler only puts a little bait on the hook and waits for the prey to take the bait, because he knows the prey's temper and thinks he has the strength to subdue the big fish.

Skadi flew to the place where the breath came from at the fastest speed. The huge noise when she landed shocked the whole Rhodes Island.

A tremor.

Skadi looked around. This was a remote neighborhood in Rhode Island. Because this place was close to the engine, there was often vibration and noise, so few people came here, and no one settled here. Only occasionally some homeless people would stay overnight.

And just on the other side of her street, there was a man in black who seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

Skadi had never seen anyone who looked like him, but the fat raven perched on his right shoulder looked familiar to her. The raven also had a smell that disgusted her.

The raven on the man's right shoulder tilted its head and chirped after meeting Skadi's gaze. It also stood up and flapped its wings, dropping a few black feathers. It seemed that it also hated Skadi.

"A man I've never seen before and an annoying fat chicken," Skadi commented on the man and the bird opposite.

She raised her hand and sucked a thick iron pipe and several pieces of iron from the abandoned store behind her. Under the stimulation of the electric current in her hand, those things were refined into a giant sword that was 1.4 meters long! If ordinary people saw it, they would only doubt whether this woman's body could wield such a weapon.

[Sword of Stirring Tides]!!

This sword was reshaped by Skadi based on her memory of the greatsword she once held as a deep-sea hunter. She infused it with her own nascent strength to strengthen it. The power of one of its strikes is comparable to that of the Yan Kingdom's royal family!

Skadi took the sword, which was almost as tall as herself, and swung it in her hand. She slashed and turned it freely, and the sword energy broke through the air. This huge and exaggerated object was easily controlled by her strength!

Then she pointed her sword at the man opposite her and said sternly:

"Man, what are you? If you don't shut up your fat bird I'll chop it up and make soup!"

"Oh~ What a big tone! How dare a defeated general like you act so arrogantly in front of us!" The fat raven suddenly spoke in human language. Did it sound like a woman? It puffed up its body while speaking, and its feathers expanded, as if to intimidate.

Skadi also remembered this voice, could it be...

"Huh?" Skadi frowned. She suddenly realized that many things that she didn't know must have happened in the three days since she came to Rhodes Island from Iberia.

Rafi would never surrender to any strong person other than "that" person. Just like all the crazy people on this land, that arrogant bastard thought that no one could be stronger than her, and the only thing that could make her lower herself was what she thought was "love"!

So... everything is clear now.

Although Skadi realized that the guy on the other side was not simple, she would not give in easily. She carried the greatsword on her shoulder and taunted the fat crow:

"Tsk! A mere beast is actually trying to imitate human speech? If you were really that powerful, you wouldn't stand on someone else's shoulders and bully others."

The man said nothing the whole time. He just watched Skadi bickering with the raven on his shoulder, with a slight smile on his face.

But the raven on his shoulder couldn't swallow this anger, and flew towards Skadi angrily! The raven's body instantly turned into a dark afterimage, and its speed was comparable to a thunderbolt from the sky!

Skadi grabbed the raven's neck, pinched its round little head with two fingers, and forced the beast to look at her. Her pale face showed an extremely gloomy expression, and her eyes seemed to be able to tear the soul apart!

The previously aggressive Raven lost its dignity in Skadi's hands and was squeezed tightly, leaving no room for resistance...

"Stupid clown!" Skadi threw the black thing away and kicked it far away with a turn. Then she could hear the raven making abstract strange cries.

“Quack!————Wow!——————————”

In a place that the two confronting people could not see, the raven landed on the ground and turned into a platinum-haired little girl. After landing, she struggled on the ground in pain.

[Fran can’t rise again]! …………

"The annoying minions are gone. Since your followers are like this, what does it matter how strong you are? I hope you won't bore me." Skadi looked at the silent man opposite her. She could not sense any power or murderous intent from this man.

To her, this guy was as bland as a glass of water. If she had passed him on the street, she would never have noticed him. The man gave Skadi the feeling that he was neither like him nor anyone else she had met before. So who was giving him that aura? If it was this man, how did he imitate it?

"You are still like this. It seems that your personality is so strong that you have completely taken over the body of this possessed woman. Although this is her physical body, how much of her original consciousness and personality is left?" The man actually asked about Skadi's body, which made Skadi even more unhappy. She has always been resistant to such questions.

This kind of ethical and personality-related issue cannot be explained in one sentence. When her consciousness was completely integrated with this body, the boundaries of her self became blurred, and now she couldn't tell whether she was Skadi or someone else's side.

She has some memories of being a waiter, as well as Skadi's memories and feelings. She is not as extreme as she used to be, because her original violent and cruel side is diluted by Skadi's gentleness, becoming neither fish nor fowl...

And this entanglement will only make Skadi more angry!

To vent her anger, she rushed to the other side, raised her sword and smashed it down! She was determined to chop the hateful man into pulp!

A red light flashed, and a magical weapon that was no less majestic than Skadi's sword appeared in the man's right hand. It was also an exaggeratedly large giant sword!
